Hey guys...got another suspension question... I should have some Koni Yellows by the end of the month, so i'm debating what to get for springs/coilovers. Here's what i'm hoping u guys will post.
-A PIC of your car
-What shocks/springs-coilovers you have
-How much your ride is dropped
-What size wheels you got
-How you like the set-up
Thanks in advance!!!

 

shocks: Tokiko Illumina
springs: Ground Control standard-rate coilovers
sway bars: Suspension Techniques
tires: 215/40/16
drop: ~2.5" in front; ~2" in back
impressions: Smooth on just about every surface. Handles very well, very little body roll, and it's basically neutral at the limit, although it has a touch of understeer. It needs better tires, though Oh, the spoiler is now off, the stickers are off, and a new hks cf/ti muffler is coming soon.

 

this is my set up:

skunk2 coilovers civic spring rates
tokico illuminas
Nuespeed front upper strut, front lower sway, rear lower sway
No name rear upper strut
Z speed rear lower tie
Energy Suspension Bushings
Tires: 215/40/16
drop: aprox 2.25 in front and 2 in the rear
IT took me 3 years, and about 4 different lowering springs/coils to dial in my suspension the way I like it....the shocks ride on the stiff, even if you adjust them down. I ran w/ the civic spring rates to counter the stiff ride of the shocks. Handling is GREAT though...but if I were to do it ALL over again...i'd get koni yellows, and some eibach/h&r/nuespeed race springs....no coilovers.....with the koni yellows, you have the option of adjusting the ride height by moving the perch up or down on the strut...Plus all my friends w/ koni yellows have waaaaaaaaaay better riding cars.

Handles great, rotates nicely on turn in and all in all sticks like glue. Twitchy under braking, it will step out if I brake to late but that's more an issue of driver error.

I'de like to upgrade to Koni Yellow's, the AGX's are good but in need something more capable for autox.

Cheers,
Roy

Neuspeed Sportlines
Neuspeed 4pt front tower bar
Neuspeed lower tie bar
ITR rear swaybar

DC front tower bar
DC rear tower bar
DC lower tie bar
VIS V-Spec II coilover system
00 GsR wheels w/ crappy stock tires

 

signature should have most of the info needed. i'm very happy with this setup. i'm pulling quicker lap times at the tracks i visit than stock type-r's (with street tyres), and that's with the small stock brakes and open diff.
ride quality is comfortable -imo- with the shocks wound down, when set on stiffer settings, it's a bit too jiggly for suburban sydney streets, perfect for the track though.

1.5" drop.

Neuspeed Race/KYB GR-2
i guess 2 inches? It seems to have dropped more than 2.
15" swirlies, stock tire size.
The ride is awesome. Somethign used to squeek and I thought it was the front right axel fucked up, but come to find out it was my jacked up AEM cold air intake. Chopped that to short ram and the squeek is gone. I don't auto-x or anything but for daily driving and the occasion haulin *** session, it is great. I also have the ITR rear sway which helps a TON!!

Perhaps the question that should be asked along with the previous information is "Why that particular suspension setup and for what reasons?"

From what I've read and seen so far, everyone goes with a particular setup based on what they want to do and accomplish.
